This increasing of voting indicates that Afghan women will close the doors of dark rooms and come out for the bright.

Today the women should get information about voter registration and the elections. They are proud Afghans and want to exercise their right to vote.

The Afghan National Security Forces promised that they will not let anyone be deprived to women rights. Local and provincial governments will support women in the political process, and will help pave the way for them to use their vote in a safe environment.

The women make sure that they and their eligible family members all registered to vote. They have to participate in democracy and be part of it.
